Step 2: Engraving and cutting process

Please test the material before you start engraving the bag.

Position the fabric into the laser with the inside down and start with the first graphic. Of course, you can personalise and individualize the bag before that.  Once you have cut out the laptop cover, turn it and use the laser to mark the seam line (if required)

Adjust the parameter settings. The parameters can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available. (Please note: the parameters for black are only necessary if you also want to engrave it.)

Step 3: Finishing

Insert the eyelet before you close the lateral seam. Please follow the instructions provided with the eyelets.

Then close the seam on the left and the right side of the cover. The scratching lines help you to use the correct position for the seam.

Now insert the rubber band, knot it together and your laptop bag is ready.
